(I now have an 7-10 yo version that is a little easier!!) You wake up three days before Christmas to realize, you are the only one in the house. All the bags your family had packed and readied for your Christmas in Paris trip are gone. You realize you have been left home alone! You know your parents will be in big trouble if you call the police. You begin to panic, and realize you're stuck. Later in the afternoon, after you have calmed down a bit and made yourself some popcorn, you watch a large van slowly move down the street and pull into your drive. It stops and you see two men staring at your house. You can overhear them saying that they will be breaking in after nightfall. You hear a devious laugh and a deep voice proudly proclaims, "The Wet Bandits Strike Again!" You need to defend your house from these ruthless thieves, but you can't call the cops. You race to the basement workshop to see what you have to work with. Find the right supplies, set the traps, and send the ruthless Wet Bandits packing. This is may seem like just a fun, light-hearted escape room, but that doesn't mean it will be easy (IN FACT, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT). These puzzles are very difficult so don't sign up if you're not ready to think hard and really dig in. It will require team work, problem solving, and maybe a little bit of Christmas magic.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in Social Studies/History
I have always been very curious and creative and I love to inspire it in kids (both my own and others) as well. I like to teach through projects, which give students a choice on the way they learn and show their understanding. I also love to teach through games and like to combine game elements in my classes.
I believe history, studied in context, to be extremely important. In fact, it's one of our best teachers. The other "subject" I believe to be of high importance is Logic. Unfortunately, logic has long been left off most curriculums. Knowing how to examine events and history through logical thinking and analysis gives us a deep, true understanding of our world.
I'm a big believer in every parent having all the need to school their children all the way through high school. So, if you are ever in doubt, let me encourage you.
My educational consulting company, It's A Potsick Education, exists to build up curious, creative learners. I do custom content/lesson design, private, online events, consulting, and more. Message me for anything you need.
I was a classroom teacher in the public schools for over 15 years and, for the past 14 years, have been helping my wife homeschool as well. I currently hold state certifications in Florida (certificate # 960883) in the areas of Middle Grades Social Science and Language Arts and Elementary Education. I have extensive classroom experience with all Elementary and Middle Grades subject content and have done private tutoring for many years in Math, Civics, Science, and Language Arts.
